Message: [QUOTE="IthacaMatt, post: 4000865, member: 405"] Totally agree. Hoppe and Aaronson are kind of the same player to me. But yes, Hoppe could have been the choice over Weah, and in relief instead of Aaronson. Yeah, Bello seemed ok getting to the second balls, but he wasn't stellar, either. I think that most of Panama's attack came down their left side. This is my number 1 takeaway is that they went down there playing for the draw. When you do that, you don't have to fire to be playing for the win. You lack the big game atmosphere, and that's probably what I noticed most - we just weren't competing. Part of it was the general mugginess. But part of it was the coaches probably talked to them about a draw being a good result. Their heads just weren't in the game. [/QUOTE]
